>>> this trait being a consequence of static typing, This is kind of my point. The goal is to build the right thing, right. Languages aren't the point, the advantage is techniques/ capabilities that come with it. 20 years ago memory management was a huge advantage in building the right thing right. And it had to be built into the language. but 20 years ago I had what I would now call a CD system, built around pxe-boot and bash. It made building the right thing right much easier, and had nothing to do with language choice. As does all the good things we consider - from engaged business teams to unit testing and pager duty. Our language choice impacts some of that, more often our organisational maturity matters more. Yes some languages are "better" than others - but if the goal is to have an organisation doing something, then tools to build the organisation matter more. Software will of course be at the heart of that, but the language choice won't (much).
